Wesley Sneijder has completed his move to Galatasaray from Internazionale. The Dutch international completed his medical with the Turkish giants on Tuesday before signing his contract at a ceremony at the club's Turk Telekom Arena.

The 28-year-old, whose transfer fee from Internazionale is believed to be in the region of €10m (£8.4m), has penned a reported three-and-a-half-year deal with the Turkish club.

Sneijder's move ends his three-and-a-half-year spell at the Italian club during which he won a Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia treble in 2010 under José Mourinho.

The midfielder, who joined Internazionale from Real Madrid for €15m in 2009, had not featured for the Nerazzurri since a 2-0 victory at Chievo in September after publicly refusing to take a €2m pay cut on a contract that ran until June 2015.

The Internazionale head coach, Andrea Stramaccioni, maintained that Sneijder's absence from the first team was solely a tactical decision, despite Inter's clear difficulty in keeping pace with the league leaders Juventus through an injury crisis.
